i saw something similar to this during hurricane katrina. but not since then. bellevue hospital is actually the oldest continuously running hospital in the country. typically can hold about 900 patients. the critically ill patients over the last 24 hours have been evacuated. it's a steady stream of ambulances going back and forth down this alleyway picking up patients and taking them to hospitals all over the city. just a little while ago, wolf, we saw maybe 25 to 50 national guard members as well walked, literally marched that way as well, probably to help in the process of carrying some of these patients down several flights of stairs. we know there's no power, no elevators. we're also hearing in a short time probably a few minutes from now there will be a press conference as well to describe exactly in more detail what is happening inside. but as you mentioned, wolf, there's generators all over that hospital. the problem is the pumps that pump the oil to the generators were submerged. they've been carrying oil up 12 flights of stairs to try and power the one

you can't flip-flop as he has done and now in the tragedy of sandy, which i have been through with katrina and rita down on the gulf, you have to know that government has a purpose. i have always said that. it can be constructive. it's an umbrella on a rainy day to take the story at hand with sandy's enormous storm. but governor romney does not want to support government in the way that helps people. and that means eliminating medicare. it means not caring about seniors, not providing for pell grants. you can't flip-flop in the last hours to suggest you would embrace government. we all want government to be efficient, and president obama has been a leader. he has the smallest federal government we have had in decades under president obama. smallest number of employees, but it has been efficient enough to be effective on the east coast, rising to the occasion, to the extent that republican governors have given the president and his team compliments in their responsiveness and the mayor of new york has endorsed him. it's not about that. it's about the president wanting to support a construct

this is really our version of katrina. i'm not saying any two tragedies are alike but i've been touring the south shore today in my district and massapequa, lindenhurst, what you're showing is typical of many areas on long isla island. fema the county executives are meeting with fema to set up compact plans as to how that recovery will take place. workers are coming in from all over the country to restore the power but it's a tough haul. i don't want to give anyone any false hope. everything that can be done is being done. i think over the next several days you will see more power being restored but this could go on for another ten days to two weeks. >> are there people still missing? what we saw in hoboken, new jersey, 20,000 people are still there, stuck with water beneath their apartments and their homes but there are a lot of people who chose to ride this storm out, a lot of people who weren't in areas that were supposed to be at high risk and they're still there. >> yes, for instance long beach, which is an island pro

redlener, what did we learn from katrina? you and i spent many, many hours talking about the aftermath of katrina. so what's the big takeaway and when do we implement that across the country? >> there's one big takeaway and it has to do with the general condition of infrastructure across the united states, and a small part of that, though a critical part, is the condition of hospitals and vital health care facilities. have we paid enough attention from the lessons of the past, how to make sure the equipment has enough power, how the generators work, have we tested them properly? in this case, we tested generators, but we didn't test the fuel pumps. we didn't know whether they would function under conditions of flooding and apparently they don't. it's not -- you know, obviously, we're learning these lessons now under extreme duress, as sanjay said. we have to now expose pagss to extraordinary risk, take them out of their relatively safe environments in intensive care units and sliding downstairs in the dark. it's an unfortunat

erwin redlenner, he has studied how hospitals handled katrina. he knows everything, really, about disaster preparedness. and doctor, i have to ask you this. we've seen a lot of businesses, big businesses like goldman sachs, big buildings downtown on generator power. they're up and running. why not a hospital? >> well, it's not clear why not a hospital. and one of the problems here is initially, years ago, we had generators in the basements of hospitals, which is obviously something that doesn't really work, because when they get flooded, the generators go out. so they moved the generators up to higher elevations, but leave the fuel pumps down in the basement. and those fuel pumps are susceptible to flooding. it's just a detail that turns the out to be extraordinarily important when the time comes to actually use those generators. >> seems like a crucial detail right now. the president of new york city is helping the hospital corporation, asked by cnn's erin burnett last night, if hospitals were ready for this. let's listen to his answer. >> well,
